Figure 5: Classification results in a non-fixed whole-breast sample.
From: Non-invasive classification of microcalcifications with phase-contrast X-ray mammography
Absorption image (a) and scattering image (b) of the whole breast (compressed thickness of 4.5 cm). (c) Close-up absorption image of the region of interest (ROI) marked in (a); (d) close-up scattering image of the ROI marked in (b); (e) 94 microcalcifications were marked out in the ROI with red circles; (f) shows the histogram of the ratio values of the 94 microcalcifications. The sizes of the observed microcalcifications vary from 100 to 800 μm. The ratio values were normally distributed around a peak value of 0.6, indicating no significant deviations in their ratio values. Scale bars, 2 cm in (a,b); 1 cm in (c–e).
